Default Boost, extenders and wifi woes

I'm hoping someone can help with my mess that is now my home wifi. Everything has been great for a long time. I had the standard actiontec router and wifi was good to passable. 2.4g was cameras, 5 was other home devices.

I got smart home security installed, and the tech installed a couple of boosts and put the TELUS security camera on that network. So now I had the boost network and my actiontec network.

Odd to have a bunch of networks but whatever.

I upgraded to 750/750 and I wasn't getting the promised speeds

A tech remotely did something to my router that then reset my wifi name. So it knocked Sonos, smartplugs, nest etc all offline. Total pain to get them back online. Speed problem wasn't fixed. So a tech was sent out.

He replaced my actiontec with a new one and new wifi network names (so go through the process of getting house online again) and I asked about the boost network, but he said that was best left for just security and he added some kind of extender to my second floor where the second boost also is.

So...

Now my network setup at home seems overly complicated with the extender. Sonos is confused always. It takes forever to find it on the network. This is the same Sonos setup that has been running problem free for nearly two years. The smartplugs won't connect at all, and boost, when I use it is super spotty. Signal will be good, but connection isn't getting made.

I'm looking for some kind of guidance or best practice on what I should do. Given the amount of connected devices in my house I just want as simple and stable as possible.
